What independent testers think... |
Summary: Dynafit redesigned the popular Comfort binding with the Vertical series. The new Dynafit Vertical line of bindings features a longer toe lever for easy grab and lock into ski or tour mode, as well as a reinforced climbing post. The ST a considerably beefed up version of the Comfort without adding much extra weight. Brakes sold separately.
Need more beef? To meet the demands of freeriders looking for added stability and durability, Dynafit strengthened the ST with more metal (less plastic) and added a plastic base connector between the heel and to units to create the FT. With minimal weight gain, this is the burliest Dynafit binding yet. |
Dynafit raised the bar last season with the launch of the Vertical Line. With the FT, Dynafit Designers have succeeded in combining the extreme stability and torsion requirements of ski tourers with the lightweight needs of free tourers.
Features:
A long toe lever for easy grab and lock (ski/tour mode)
An integrated (tough) 3rd climbing post/heal body
A new 1/2 step on the heal body, you now can dial in your heel lift perfectly.
As with any Dynafit Binding, the metal pins and metal
boot inserts remain unchanged and unbeatable. The
Vertical provides the same legendary durability,
tourability, torque and performance with minimal
weight gain due to it's added features.

Couloir magazine: "Dynafit has proven that feather-like weight and strength are not mutually exclusive terms. The compact socket/pin system trimmed away the fat of alpine touring and remains the gold standard for both boot-to-ski connection and lightness - the paramount concerns of earning one's turns. The TLT Vertical FT, its latest incarnation, combines all of that with an underfoot plate to reduce the amount of give between heel and toe - Dynafit's one past weakness - and still comes in at less than half the weight of its competitors. Should doubters still exist, its brakes add a little freeride-friendliness to accompany its mountaineering savvy."
Skiing magazine: "The brand-new Vertical Free Tour offers enhanced downhill performance thanks to a glass and carbon binding plate that connects the toe and heelpieces for increased power transmission. And it's still the lightest binding out there." |
